": done, made, or acquired by stealth " Ok so if that's the definition then maybe not. I think hand held photography instead of tripod photography has a slight "stealth" edge to it whatever you do. You think you are sneaking around. All eyes are on you. I think when you see photojournalists work they are under no illusions they are anything close to invisible; and even become involved with their subjects as they are shooting. They inter relate. They work it. They cover it.
